Editorial Reviews

I'm from Arkansas is strictly from hunger, the type of low budget, low-down programmer that modern audiences watch and wonder how it ever got made. Of course, it's unlikely that the creators had anything on their mind other than filling up an hour or so of screen time with as little effort as possible. With that in mind, screenwriters Joseph Carole and Marcy Klauber came up with an idea -- a pig has a whole bunch of piglets, which draws attention to the small Arkansas town in which they reside -- and then just let the "plot machine" run its course in as simple and unobtrusive a manner as possible. The dialogue serves no purpose other than to set up a "joke," establish stereotype (for it would be stretching it to call any of the roles "characters") and, most importantly, provide some slim reason for a musical number. And it is those musical numbers that provide the only real entertainment in Arkansas (aside from the occasional snide remark from the reliable Iris Adrian). Fans of Mary Ford will spot her as part of the "Sunshine Girls" trio (and relish her short duet with Jimmy Wakely during "You Are My Sunshine." Carolina Cotton does her always interesting yodel routine in a couple of numbers, and the Pied Pipers (sans Jo Stafford) lend their smooth harmonies to a couple of tunes.
